Hello,
Eleanor Fitzgerald, as you can see, was living at 1 Burlington Road, Southport, in 1911. Born in London in 1866, single, and living by 'private means'. I'd like to discover more about Eleanor but I'm unable to find any trace of her prior to 1911. It's possible that her name was Ellen or Helen. If she was baptised a catholic she may have been given the name Elena, which morphed into Eleanor. She may have preferred this and decided to stick with it. I can't find her in1939 but there is a death in 1961, which may be her. Any help would me much appreciated.
Many Thanks

What is her relationship to you? Are you descended from one of her siblings as that could help trace her on earlier censuses
-
Is she mistrancribed as I can't find an entry using the info you give

Found it using the address search. The 1961 death was a spinster & died 20.12.1961. She left a will. You will find it in 1962. You can download it for £1.50 and may get some info

only one on freebmd in 1961 and she is 91 and the death is in Ealing - I am confused - I thought she was in Southport ? and if that record is the correct one aged 91 - she was born in 1870 ? not 1866 - is this the right one ??

That’s a good find - right area - they are in Birkdale - Ormskirk registration district.
-
ha ha - says Formby in 1911 census and Mary Harley is still with her as her servant - says born Middlesex ,London 1866
the census says
Registration District - Ormskirk
Parish - Southport
SUB DISTRICT - Formby - so I would say she is definitely in Formby - I am gonna check Burlington Road ,Formby ,Southport
-
I don’t think that this Eleanor is the one born Eleanor Isabella mmn Day who looks to be from the 1871 family in St Pancras.
She marries Frederick Blakiston in 188i and can be seen in later censuses.

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar
Eleanor Agnes Fitzgerald
31 Aug 1933
Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England
Probate date:25 Nov 1933
Edwin James DOD and Oswald Arthur DOD.
......
The DOD children seem to be those of her sister Fanny Elizabeth (married James DOD). The family are in Ormskirk 1891.

Hello Rootschatters: Thanks to your excellent detective work, I can confirm that Eleanor Agnes Fitzgerald was born in 1858, never married, and departed this life in 1933.

Thanks for the input lancsann. Clearly, I've got my wires crossed somewhere. The Eleanor Fitzgerald I'm interested in was, as my initial posting read, living in 10 Burlington Road back in 1911. I need to review all of the information I have in order to clarify things.
